[English]

Your breath, and your voice

...

Your breath passes through my body

I can't react in time

Your voice hides in my ears

Makes me sick

Thank you for the obsession you gave me

Made me lose my name

When I was curious

I couldn't take my eyes off

I think I won't love you if this goes on

My tiny pride is about to be abandoned

I think I won't love you, just maybe

...

Your sighs scatter everywhere

Make me hysterical

Getting too close, accidentally

Hurt myself

Thank you for the obsession you gave me

Made me trap myself

When I was lost

I couldn't bear to leave

I think I won't love you if this goes on

My tiny pride is about to be abandoned

I think I won't hate you, the scars of hurt

Live in my heart, turned into a secret

I think I won't love you, afraid of losing

So I pretend to be strong, watching you from afar

I think I won't hate you, just maybe

...

I think I won't love you if this goes on

My tiny pride is about to be abandoned

I think I won't hate you, the scars of hurt

Live in my heart, turned into a secret

I think I won't love you, afraid of losing

So I pretend to be strong, watching you from afar

I think I won't hate you, just maybe

...

[Chinese]

你的呼吸 還有你的聲音

你的呼吸 穿過身體

我來不及反應

你的聲音躲在耳裡

讓我生病

謝謝 你給的讓我沉迷

讓我丟掉了姓名

在好奇的時候

拉不住眼睛

我想我不會愛你 這樣下去

渺小的自尊都快要拋棄

我想我不會愛你 只是也許

你的歎息 散落一地

讓我歇斯底里

靠得太近一不小心

弄傷自己

謝謝 你給的讓我沉迷

讓我困住了自己

在迷路的時候

捨不得離去

我想我不會愛你 這樣下去

渺小的自尊都快要拋棄

我想我不會恨你 傷的痕跡

住在我心底 變成了秘密

我想我不會愛你 害怕失去

所以逞強的 遠遠看著你

我想我不會恨你 只是也許

我想我不會愛你 這樣下去

渺小的自尊都快要拋棄

我想我不會恨你 傷的痕跡

住在我心底變成了秘密

我想我不會愛你 害怕失去

所以逞強的 遠遠看著你

我想我不會恨你 只是也許
